Project description
TranslatedI am looking for an experienced specialist or small team to install a complete air dehumidification system in the basement of a residential house. The basement already shows initial signs of dampness — a musty smell after rain, slight condensation on foundation walls, and elevated humidity compared to other rooms in the house. I want to solve this problem before visible mold or structural damage appears.
The scope of work includes selecting and installing a dehumidifier sized for the basement area and typical humidity load, laying a permanent drainage tube to the nearest drain or sump pit so I don't have to manually drain condensate, and connecting to a separate outlet if the existing electrical line is not rated for continuous operation. A separate humidity monitoring system is needed — either a built-in hygrometer with a digital display or a separate wireless sensor placed at some distance from the dehumidifier itself — to track relative humidity levels and ensure the system maintains the target range, typically between 45 and 55 percent.
If the basement has ductwork or part of the space is already finished, I would like the contractor's opinion on whether to distribute the dehumidified air across multiple zones or if a single central unit is sufficient given the layout. I also ask for guidance on the optimal placement location to avoid interference from stored items, shelving, boiler, and water heater.
Waterproofing walls and installing a vapor barrier membrane are not part of this task — this is strictly about installing dehumidification equipment, its drainage, electrical connection, and humidity monitoring for continuous tracking of basement conditions. Upon completion, a brief overview with photos of the finished installation, a written description of the selected model and settings, and basic instructions for filter cleaning and seasonal maintenance would be helpful.
In your response, please indicate your experience with similar installations, estimated completion timeframe, and equipment power recommendations for a basement of approximately 90–110 square meters with moderate humidity problems. I am also interested in what warranty and subsequent support is provided for the installed equipment and the work itself.
